I got them on ebay a couple years back but have always had my doubts about them. I suck at macros. Hopefully it's close enough to clearly show the surface of the coins. When looking at them through a loupe I can't find and abrasions or marks from cleaning. Figured I'd finally get around to asking others for their opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

trent Valued Member United States 355 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 5:20 pm Thanks for the responses guys. Yes, I also wonder about the steelies. Here are some more pics, but from farther away. Then some other ones from the same purchase which I was still wondering about. Some of the same in the OP plus some other ones... Not really in focus, but some 1950's copper.
